GENEVA, June 6 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese women's volleyball team defeated Thailand 3-0 on Sunday for the title of the Montreux Volley Masters.

Chinese veteran Hui Ruoqi scored 15 points and led the team past its rival 25-14, 25-20, 25-23.
The Chinese appeared with full energy to snatch the first set without much trouble. In the second set, the two teams played a see-saw game until the Chinese triumphed with strong attacks and effective blocks.
The Thais had led in the third set for several times until the Chinese leveled it 23-23. Finally, the better team won, following Thai's faulty service and a devastating attack by Liu Xiaotong.
